Pale gold in color, the wine opens with elegant notes of honeysuckle, guava, peach and wet stone. An inviting palate with juicy flavors of apricot, stone fruits and barrel spice.
Purple in the glass, with aromas of crème de cassis, plum, molasses and soft baking spices. The palate is warmed with cinnamon candy flavors, mulberry and fruit leather, creating a lush profile. The sugared fruit aromas and medium-bodied palate are elevated by the subtle spice flavor of the Syrah grape and French oak barrels. This wine pairs well with savory and spicy foods.
With an abundance of Rocks character, the wine opens with notes of blackberry and plum, then transitions away from pure fruit expression to deliver aromas and flavors of anise, black pepper, savory herbs, game and minerality that contribute to its strong reflection of the appellation. The palate is rich and intense with firm tannins and balancing acidity.
